Legend of Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo Says He Is Quitting Soccer
To the Portuguese news source Now, Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo said a number of things about his plans to retire.
In 2009, he broke the world trade record by leaving Manchester United for the Spanish giants. He was also Real Madrid’s all-time top scorer and a five-time Ballon d’Or and Champions League winner. He left the Bernabeu in 2018.
He couldn’t repeat that level of success when he played for Juventus and a second time at United, though. He now works for Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo, who is 39 years old now, is getting closer to the end of his career. He doesn’t know when he’ll retire, but it looks like he’ll make the choice that will break many football fans’ hearts while still playing for his current team in Saudi Arabia.
“I’m not sure if I’ll be done soon or in two or three years.” However, it might be at Al Nassr. It’s the team in the league and the country where I’m happiest, best, and most at ease.
“That’s why I think I can finish my job at Al Nassr.” He told Now, “I’m happy to play in the Arab league, and I want to keep doing it.”
Ronaldo refused to tell anyone in his circle about his plans to retire from international football and, by extension, Portugal before he made an official announcement. This is because he didn’t have much of an impact on Spain’s recent win at the Euros, as his country lost in the quarterfinals to France.
“I won’t tell anyone ahead of time that I’m leaving the national team. It will be a very last-minute decision that I’ve given a lot of thought to.”
“What I want right now is to be able to help the national team in their next games.” They said, “We have the Nations League coming up, and I’d really like to play.”
Another interesting thing Ronaldo said was that he is sure he will not be in the bench one day after he hangs up his boots.
It’s not in my mind right now to be the coach of the first team or any other team. I’ve never even thought about it.
“That’s not what I see for my future.” “I can see myself doing things besides football, but who knows what the future holds,” he said in the end.
